Everest CORE - Product Manual | Product Description Motor brake output Dedicated, PWM capable, 3.3 V digital output for driving a mechanical brake. Turn-on and turn-off times are configurable. Enabling this function would require an external transistor or power driver. Safe Torque OFF inputs 2 x dedicated, non-isolated STO digital inputs (3.3 V and 5 V tolerant).
The following figure show the maximum phase current at different case temperatures and DC bus voltages. Here current is expressed in RMS. To obtain the equivalent current in amplitude just multiply it by √2 . To ensure a proper performance of Everest CORE, the case temperature must be held always below 85 ºC (T = 85 ºC).

7.1.2. Single-Axis or Multi-Axis approach The simplest way to integrate Everest CORE is to develop an interface board to hold 1 drive module and a Master device. This way, the Master can command the Everest CORE as a slave, and the Everest CORE will control the motor accordingly. ...
Although typically not part of an interface board, but wired outside, this could be one of the main and first elements to take care of, as the way it is dimensioned could affect the rest of the design. Everest CORE generates 3-phase currents by means of an inverter topology power stage, so it require a DC power supply to feed its internal DC bus.
Everest CORE is a switched power regulator using a very fast state-of-the art switching technology. This allows Everest CORE to be extremely efficient, but at the cost of requiring a relatively more sophisticated input stage to avoid transmitting a "sharp" ripple voltage through the power supply lines. This is of an special importance when sharing the DC bus with other sub-systems or when targeting EMC-related certifications, as CE marking.

Finally, it is advisable to include sourge and ESD protection in the power DC input to reinforce the immunity ratings of the Everest CORE. A TVS could do the job for ESD protection, but might be insufficient in front of a sourge, where suppression of large but very short power peaks is not as relevant as the response in front of a wide and long INGENIA | 08/01/2019...

Output current required The minimum output current specified above is only for Everest CORE, so does not include the Interface Board self-consumption or its capability to deliver current to other external circuits. A couple o valid DC/DC examples:...
Page 29
Everest CORE - Product Manual | Application Guide Second, 5 V is converted to 3.3 V by means of a simple LDO. The Everest CORE does not consume any current from this 3.3 V, so it must be enough to cover the self-consumption of the Interface Board plus the amount of current to be sent to external circuits (see 3.3 V and 5 V Output Supplies chapter below).
Inverse Polarity Protection This circuit is intended to block any current going into Everest CORE when the power supply is connected in inverted polarity. If this circuit is not present, it is suggested to select a polarised power supply connector. ...
• Not doing anything: re-injection could not be an issue, specially when the nominal voltage of the motor is way smaller than the one of the drive (i.e. driving a 24 V motor with Everest CORE). If the re-injection is not too strong, the internal DC bus of the drive will increase, but not enough to reach dangerous levels, so the drive will simply withstand it. ...

Everest CORE - Product Manual | Application Guide Design Notes • OVERVOLTAGE net must be tied to any of the GPOx pins of Everest CORE Interface connector (pins 55, 56, 57 or 43). Then, the Everest CORE must be configured to map the Overvoltage signalling functionality to this specific GPO, which will then stop working as a general purpose digital output.

To be connected to pin 34 of Everest CORE Interface connector GND_D Logic supply reference voltage. To be connected to pin 32 of Everest CORE Interface connector Design Notes • STO_RET is tied together from the 2 circuits, but could be wired separately.
Schematic A resistor limits the current while a Zener diode saturates the voltage. Everest CORE will detect as "low" any voltage lower than 0.8, and as "high" any voltage greater than 3 V, while still being tolerant to input voltages up to 30 V.
Page 36
To be connected to pin 58 of Everest CORE Interface connector GND_D Logic supply reference voltage. To be connected to pins 59 and 60 of Everest CORE Interface connector Design Notes • For simplicity, the proposed solution is not opto-isolated. Therefore, the input signals generator (could be a PLC or other controller) must share the Ground with Everest CORE.
Digital Outputs This simple circuit can be used to convert the 3.3 V push-pull digital outputs of Everest CORE into 5 V open collector with weak pull-ups. This will invert the logic polarity of the output, but at the same time it will provide the capability of driving greater loads.
• When using the load in push-pull configuration, the 1 kΩ resistor set the output impedance and limit the current. In this case, note that the polarity of the GPOx signal coming from Everest CORE will be inverted in the output.
Page 39
In case of a low voltage DC bus Everest CORE DC bus can be driven from a very low voltage power supply, but still a 24 V brake might be required. In the event that the DC bus is lower than the brake driving voltage, the signal BRAKE+ must not be tied to the DC bus (either SUP_PROTECTED, POW_SUP or power pin 1 of P1 in Everest CORE).

It sets 2 half-duplex channels, one for the "clock" signal, which is always a transmitter driven from the Everest CORE, and the other for the "data" signal, which is always a receiver. With this, Everest CORE will be able to interface most SSI or BISS-C absolute encoders available.

PCB, or be plugged into a receptacle mating contact. The first approach would allow Everest CORE to reach its specified nominal phase current, but it will not be possible to unplug it from the interface board. On the other hand, the second approach will be limited to the rated current of the contacts, but allowing the Everest CORE to be unplugged if required.
7.3.2. The Everest CORE component The Everest CORE is not directly plugged to a PCB, but instead it uses components to be plugged to, either along the direct solder or the pluggable approach. This means that the Everest CORE component does not have any terminals, and the Interface board must be set with the terminals of the required mating components, which are: •...
Mechanical layer 15: clearances Considerations about clearances and general layout advice can be found in Mechanical layer 15. Understand the lines as the limits for component placement outside or below the Everest CORE, in such way that no component should cross them.
Only signal traces are represented, with the purpose of pointing the most appropriate way of leaving the Everest CORE. As a rule of thumb, it is preferred to not direct the tracks towards the inside of the Everest CORE, but outwards.

Class 6 PCB manufacturing category. This is a quite average level of sophistication, in terms of PCB manufacturing technology, but is sufficient to interface the Everest CORE, thus entailing a cheaper cost. However, very dense designs might go for a less restrictive PCB Class, specially when most of the signals in the mezzanine connectors are used. ...
Power tracks can go through any layer from Mid 1 to Bottom is fine to exit the Everest CORE, but respecting the intended layer stack usage is advised (see below): GND_P will be better fitted through a layer dedicated to ground planes, as Mid 1, and POW_SUP will be better fitted in a layer dedicated to power supplies, as Mid 3 in this example.
